Now I thought the theme was Black and white but it was changed at the last minute and I didn't know but luckily it still sort of meets the new theme which is Lace and Pearls.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts and include Roses of different sizes, baby's breath and rose buds. There are 2 different Marianne dies used for the hearts and swirls. The papers are Papermania capsule range and I have coloured the image with ProMarkers and paper pieced her dress. Love balloon is a stamp from LOTV.

The gems and mirror card are from my stash. Sadly there is no lace but oh well...The customer loved it :)

The papers are a mixture of First edition and Dovecraft. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and so are the pearl stems. I have used a spellbinder Square heart die and have used ProMarkers to colour.Lace, ricrac and ribbon are from my stash There's a bit of bling on her wings and the flowers too.

Just wanted to show you this card I made for my daughter's friend last week. I used the You're so tweet stamp which is just adorable. I got her with my birthday money as well as all the dies I used on the card.

The flowers are from WOC, The little bird house charm was from Dies to die for and the ribbon and button were from my stash.

I have used a Lotv sentiment stamp, Nesties, Die namics Mft scallop border die and a sizziz star die also. The buttons and gems were from my stash and the little alphabet stamps that spelled the name are from the Range and cost 99p. They are made by Dovecraft and were a BARGAIN!!!

Why not pop over and take part. I used Reading beauty from Krista and have coloured her with ProMarkers. The flowers are WOC and so is the pearl heart, The papers are Dovecraft Princess fairytale. The brad and gem are from the same range.

The lace was from a local craft shop and the sentiment is Personal Expressions.

Not really feeling too brill today. Quite lethargic and although I have tons of new goodies to play with I am just not feeling it. Hopefully I will feel better after some fresh air and a walk with Scooby.

I have used Promarkers to colour in. I got the idea for the background from Alyssa. I have used papers from my stash and you can't really tell but the front of the card is cut diagonally so the green papers you see are actually inside the card. The stars are a sizzix die and I have decorated the inside to match but forgot to take a pic (again)!!

I had some of my birthday goodies delivered yesterday from "Dies to die for". Can't wait to use them. I got papers, dies, stamps, charms....oh it's soooo exciting. I also went and got £50 worth of

Promarkers yesterday to add to my collection. I do feel very blessed :)

Today's card though I made a few days ago. It uses the Anniversary Surprise from Lili of the valley. I love it!

I have tried to keep the colours quite neutral and soft. I used Promarkers, stickles and some glossy accents on the shoes. The flowers are from WOC. Papers are J'adore from First edition. Sentiment is computer generated and the ribbon and heart are from the Range.

I have decorated the inside and the box to match but forgot to take the pic , whoops!

The papers are Blank canvas from First edition, flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts, The sentiment is computer generated, the die cut hearts were made using a Marianne die and the gems, ribbon and large jewel were from my stash.

I just wanted to mark the day by doing a really quick post. I am 38 today and have been spoiled rotten. Gifts, a meal out, takeaway food and nearly £300 in cash. I am going to be getting some new dies from MFT and who knows what else.

I wasn't going to post a card on here today but it's my friends birthday as well so this is the card I made for her.

I shall be back soon to let you know how wisely I have spent my money :)
